New venture unleashes power of VR in brain injury rehab
July 2021
A new VR platform for brain injury rehabilitation has been created by a team of medical professionals, whose commitment to the use of technology in rehab is helping to advance thinking in the area nationally.
Brain Recovery Zone provides the resources for brain injury survivors to support their own recovery from an early stage, and increase their capability to manage fatigue, improve speech and mood and stabilise their emotions from their own home.
The platform offers a safe virtual space for people to practice the habits that aid recovery in an immersive environment, of which there are 11 to choose from, ranging from the Northern Lights to the Hundred Acre Wood of Winnie the Pooh fame. Mindfulness and meditation experiences are also offered.
And alongside the relaxation opportunity, Brain Recovery Zone also provides education through animation, taking survivors on journeys through the brain to explain brain injury and stroke so they can better understand what has happened to them.
